Watermelon Tights

 These are one of my favourite pairs of tights because they make my legs look like watermelon. Unfortunately they're not the highest quality. The spots are printed on and are not quite dark enough and they're one of those pairs where the legs are not long enough so you have to really stretch them to get them up properly. But... they still look lovely!



These came from Topshop about 2 years ago.

Measles

Ah, as with hearts I hoard tonnes upon tonnes of polka dot tights in all colours. These red ones are just lovely:



They were from H&M and cost about £4. They also come in white and black. They come in S, M, L or XL so I bought the biggest for comfort. They fit beautifully. You can't see in the photos but the base for the polka dots is tiny red mesh instead of just sheer stocking material. Lovely.

Blushing Polka Dots

Todays tights are similar to the primark tights I featured a couple of days ago, sheer with a black pattern. I'm favouring styles like this recently as it's so hot, they're nice and thin so they're cool, but the pattern makes them interesting. And they're probably a lot nicer than my bare legs :P

These are sheer but a slightly odd colour, they're a pinkish blush shade instead of a straight nude (they look paler than they are in the photos). it's kind of cool but also makes me look slightly sunburnt. I got these from Urban Outfitters for about £10. They're absolutely wonderful quality for the price. While they're very thin they're also very strong and haven't snagged at all and seem like they'll be resistant to laddering. I got them in size M/L and they're so so comfy. I'm not particularly tall (about 5 foot 8 or 9) but often tights are way too short for me and I have to pull ridiculously to get the waistband past my crotch (attractive! :P) but with these they're wonderfully stretchy and fit perfectly. Happy times!

Here is an outfit I've paired them with recently:



(please try and ignore the hideous bin next to me!)  

I went for a cream coloured dress with black polka dots and a big black pompom on my hair, so i'm all matching! I think it's a cool look personally. I also think you could pair this with plain black clothes for a more sophisticated look. What do you think would look good with these? :)
